100%. The school and the Internet are the two places children can encounter opinions different from their parents’ for the first time. With an increase in homeschooling and recent pushes to ban social media for children, it’s clear that critical thinking is going to suffer most. I still have not met someone who was homeschooled who was remotely thankful for it.

Honestly, support for these policies that benefit, more than anyone else, abusive parents, makes me suspicious of people’s motives.

Hello! My parents were early homeschooling pioneers, and I never had any conventional schooling. I think it suited me very well, and I'm glad my parents did it. I am solidly middle-aged now, but nothing I've seen or heard in all these years has given me the impression that I missed out on any experience worth having.
